New London Music Festival presents its 5th annual installation of TRADITIONS: A Celebration of American Folk Music. The day long festival has become a true snapshot of the full American Music Experience right here in downtown New London. Traditions began out of a deep respect for the multi-national storytelling and wisdom of the traditional music that immigrated here while warmly embracing the evolution of those musical forms as they build and define our own unique culture. This year Traditions focuses on acts that use their original songwriting to show that evolution in our American folk canon.

The last four years' models featured international and national performers The Wiyos, David Wax Museum, Tim Eriksen & Cordelia’s Dad, Robbie O'Connell, Roberts and Barrand, and Serre l'Ecoute, mainstays of the American Bluegrass, Sacred Harp, Gospel, Folk-Rock, Delta Blues, and Zydeco movements as well as truly talented multi-instrumentalists and storytellers.
